If you are running KiXtart as a CGI under IIS then the web server must conform to the CGI protocol, which include passing the parameters to the executing program via environment variables.

I have Apache installed on my machine with KiXtart configured as a CGI.

Here is the script:


$gNULL=SetOption("ASCII","ON")
$gNULL=RedirectOutput(%TEMP%+"\"+%REMOTE_ADDR%+"_"+%REMOTE_PORT%+".txt",1)
$sTempFile=%TEMP%+"\cmd_output.txt"
"Content-Type: text/html" ? ?
"<"+"HTML>"
 "<"+"HEAD>"
  "<TITLE>KiXtart as CGI demonstration</TITLE>"
 "</"+"HEAD>"
 "<"+"BODY>"
  "Using KiXtart version "+@KIX+" as CGI!<BR>"
  "<HR>"
  "The following environment variables are set:"
  Shell "%COMSPEC% /C SET >"+$sTempFile
  "<PRE>"
  Display $sTempFile
  "</PRE>"
  Del $sTempFile
 "<"+"/BODY>"
"<"+"/HTML>"
Exit 99


If I call the script with this URL:

quote:
http://localhost:8080/kixdemo.kix?myparameter
I get the following:
quote:
Using KiXtart version 4.20 as CGI!
